Escape, Christmas market, working-class cinema… Where to go out in the Tarn this week?

“Nomadic Oratorio”, a story of escape

An event proposed by the Scène Nationale d'Albi, the play “Oratorio nomade” will be performed in several towns in Tarn this week. A travel story, this original creation takes us in the footsteps of a man who sets out to reach Paris from Munich on foot.

In a single stripped-down scene, the viewer follows him throughout these 800 kilometers. In the form of a diary, this story born from walking tells of a man in his quest, in adversity, in solitude, in the face of death. Six sessions are scheduled between Tuesday December 3 and Monday December 9 in Graulhet, Les Cabannes, Gaillac, Monestiés, Salvagnac, Labruguière.

A lively Christmas village in Puycelsi

Carriage rides in the presence of Santa Claus, choirs, a storyteller, gourmet meals through the village… A program designed to warm hearts. Saturday evening the party will continue in the multipurpose room with a traditional ball hosted by the Bolbena duo.
